Abstract
SUMMARY Conventional two-bearing mounting arrangements for overhung bevel pinions do not provide the highest available stiffness at the pinion head. In smaller sizes, the shaft contribution to flexibility dominates; in larger sizes, the contribution of the bearings dominates. A three-bearing arrangement provides a substantial improvement. If bearing types are selected with a view to maximizing the stiffness of the front bearing, a non-traditional arrangement is possible which reduces deflections at the pinion head by up to 70% compared with a corresponding traditional two-bearing arrangement. Advantages accrue throughout the design.
